Floriz-- Nice work! I think I would have drawn one of those scenes, then plopped down on the couch. I like the variety of activities. Donald is very funny.

Xanothis-- um, fear of clowns? I like how everything is consistently morbid--the dead fish, the noose on the teddy bear.

A fear of clowns (caulrophobia) seems to be rather common... I know of a few people who have this phobia. One of them even burst into tears at a clown show... They just seem to rub off in a bizarre way... the legacy of Victorian era freakshows, perhaps; the same class as the legendary 'baby-in-a-jar'.

But yeah... that's my excuse! :>

Here's my version of "a day at the amusement park". 1h, OpenCanvas 1.1, wacom graphire.

well, I don't have much time lately, and I will have even less in the future because I've just started my classes, but I wanted my 100th post in cgtalk to be a daily sketch, so here it is, 1hour in OpenCanvas 1.1 (thanks garma for telling me it was free)

http://gaitasfritas.250free.com/amusement.jpg

Jasel, good idea, great reflections, amazing image
Floriz, that are 6 sketches in one, that's a lot of work! nice colors

A day at the amusement park.
Ok, this pretty much sucks, but its my first time playing around with Painter IX. Lost track of time, but maybe 1.5 hrs w/Wacom. Love the tool, but not too proud of this sketch.

A bit over an hour, ps& wacom
There's a fair going on a stone's throw from my apartment this week. I haven't seen this horse, but I know he's out there. . .

robinayles

10-05-2004, 03:26 AM

Good one, ilikesoup! Are you sure that's a horse? His ears are kind of long, so he looks more like a mule. Maybe you should get him "the patch"? :)

Anubis-Halil - I'm quite new to this digital painting thing, so I use the brushes already there, without changing them much. For sketching, I like to use the Pencil - 2B tool (with a bit of smoothing, switching <Brush Creator -> Stroke Designer -> General -> Method> to 'Cover', and Subcategory to 'Soft Cover') and for painting, I used a mixture of Oils - Bristle Oils and Acrylics - Opaque Detail Brush at different sizes.

Hello guys!
ive tried out the OpenCanvas3 trial version, and it doesnt have the saving option.. =/
I also saw that most of you use the 1.1 version, and I was wondering where can I get it?

Cheers.. =)

-Peace

Xanthan, same thing happened to me last week, I found 1.1 here, (http://www.house-of-cards.net/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=MostPopular) after a long search

It seems like even if there are not more avatar-topics we can continue having fun with them, very good one, art2!

robinayles-- All the better to hear you with, my dear. :) I really need to start using reference pictures.

Sampo-- Love that style! Nice work.
Art2-- "You must be this high to ride the Mustard Wash." Love it! None shall pass!
The Ton-- Color and perspective really sell this picture. Great idea.

keepitevil - good, but disturbing - remind me not to go to the amusement park that you go to!
sampo - I think that roller coaster is pretty scary if it knocked out her EYES!
art2 - great one!
The Ton - really good, nice mood!
Alice - love it! especially like the guy being flung off the roller coaster in the background - must be the same roller coaster as the one in sampo's post!

Soup and Robin: Cheers guys, you kinda cheered me up about a pic I wasn't too keen on... Nice one...

Alice, you crack me up! (although I did notice a few spelling mistakes on your CV...Tut tut! See me after class!) Just one question though... what does THPBT mean???

Roozelle!! Where the hell did you find the time to spend FIVE hours on your pic??? I struggle to find one!! Well worth it though... Very nice, great little amusing details...

Well, I got home from work last night at 6pm and stayed up drawing until nearly midnight. Normally, I don't have so much free time to draw - but I wanted to finish the sketch I started. - So, I just made it the priority of my evening.

Alice, you crack me up! (although I did notice a few spelling mistakes on your CV...Tut tut! See me after class!) Just one question though... what does THPBT mean???

Im swedish! Im allowed to make spellingerrors :)
And if you dont know what THPBT! means then you realy have to catch up on your bloom county :D (And its back!)

TheTon

10-05-2004, 10:57 PM

Ok then, after a quick peek at Google, it would seem that most of the binary speaking world knows what THPBT means, except me....

Bugger. I guess I have some penguin-related catching up to do...

Although I must confess I have never seen Bloom County before. I don't get to see much here in this box... it's too dark and they only let me out for feeding and cleaning...

Anyway, as for the spellng I'll lett yoo off thiz once seeing as your swedush and all... ;)

The Ton -- Not my best work, but I hope this gets the lesson across. :D

edit: Fun Fact!
The term "give a raspberry" which means making a farting noise as a means of heckling someone has Cockney origins. Using a rhyming game to create slang words, fart is rhymed with raspberry tart. Fart and tart are dropped and "raspberry" becomes equated with a farting noise, which sometimes appears in comics as Thpbt!

immerzel: such a nice picture and avatar! It would have been even nicer if explorer actually COULD handle .png and not just add a blue background filling out the squares :(

10-06-2004, 07:52 AM

Thanks Alice!

I didn't know IE was that bad at handling PNG. I am using Firefox, havent touched IE for a very long time, until just now to check up on your comment.

Man... PNG is such a nice fomat, I will make a GIF version for my avatar. With my doodles it's somewhat different. I am a gradient and circle fool. That doesn't go well with GIF..

Back to (old) square JPG then.... AAARRGGG!

Thanks for warning me about this...
